Off Topic » The Bears are set to be without key players

Head coach Matt Nagy said that safety Eddie Jackson and wide receiver Allen Robinson will both be listed as doubtful for their matchup with the Vikings. Jackson also missed last Sunday’s game with an ankle injury while Robinson has been out of practice with injured ribs.Nagy said linebacker Aaron Lynch is also unlikely to play against the Vikings due to an elbow injury.The absences will impact the Bears’ chances of getting a win they need in order to have a chance of moving into the No. 2 spot in the NFC playoffs. They’d also need the Rams to lose to the 49ers Garrett Bradbury Jersey , so the result may wind up being a moot point when all is said and done anyway.Nagy said this week he’d be keeping an eye on that game and could adjust his plans for who plays based on the Rams’ result. Any further changes to the lineup would likely work against the Eagles, who need a win and a Vikings loss to extend their season. MIAMI (AP) — Five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh officially was released Wednesday by the Miami Dolphins at the start of free agency, and the team made official the trades to acquire defensive end Robert Quinn and send Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns.Miami also announced the release of tight end Julius Thomas http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-irv-smith-jr.-jersey , which had been expected. The Dolphins decided to keep right tackle Ja’Wuan James, which guarantees him $9.34 million in 2018.Restructured contracts for quarterback Ryan Tannehill and Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones cleared $18 million in cap space. The Dolphins converted $16.7 million of Tannehill’s 2018 salary to bonus pay, underscoring their long-term investment in him Alexander Mattison Jersey , and converted $9.4 million of Jones’ salary this year to bonus pay.Suh was halfway through the $114 million, six-year deal he signed when he joined the Dolphins in 2015. Along with the incentive of creating $17 million in cap space this year, the move was widely seen as part of coach Adam Gase’s attempt to improve the locker room culture following a 6-10 season.Suh’s standoffish personality raised questions about his leadership http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dru-samia-jersey , and he has never been on a team that won a playoff game.Landry went to the Browns for a fourth-round draft pick this year and a seventh-rounder in 2019. Quinn was acquired from the Los Angeles Rams for a fourth-round pick, and the teams swapped sixth-round choices.Thomas was a disappointment in his lone season with Miami, catching 41 passes for 388 yards and three scores.Miami tendered three exclusive rights free agents: center Jake Brendel Daniel Jones Jersey , linebacker Mike Hull and defensive back Jordan Lucas. The team declined to tender offensive lineman Anthony Steen, linebacker Neville Hewitt, quarterback David Fales or running back De’Veon Smith Ed Oliver Jersey , making them free to negotiate with any team.131<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Miami Dolphins cheerleadersSteve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports | Steve Mitchell
